Lash Extensions in Waukesha, WI

A lift and tint is the easiest way in. There is nothing to maintain, nothing glued on, and it shows you whether you even like the look before you commit to a fill schedule. If you already know you want length and density, a classic set is the natural first set, and we can build up from there. Starting with the biggest set available is the most common thing we talk people out of.

Contacts are fine. Take them out before your appointment and bring your glasses, because your eyes stay closed for the whole set and you will be more comfortable without them in. Genuinely sensitive eyes are worth telling us about beforehand, since there are gentler adhesives and we can place the set slightly away from the inner corner. If you have ever reacted to lash glue before, say so and we will patch test rather than find out the hard way.

Your own lashes carry on with their normal growth cycle underneath, so when you stop, the extensions shed off with them over a few weeks and you are back to your natural lashes. The thing that catches people out is that your natural lashes look shorter than you remember by comparison. They have not been damaged, your eye has just adjusted. If you would rather not wait it out, we can remove a set properly instead of you picking at it, which is what actually causes damage.

Yes, but not the same week. The extensions need to come off and your natural lashes need a short break first, because a lift works by reshaping your own lash and it needs something healthy to work with. Come in and we will look at the state of them and tell you whether to go straight into a lift or give it a few weeks.

For extensions, come in about three to five days before you travel or get married. That gives the adhesive time to cure fully and gives you a window to come back if a lash is sitting oddly. For a lift and tint, a week ahead is better, since it looks its most natural after it has settled. Do not book a brand new set for the morning of the wedding.

Extensions and lifts are generally considered fine, and the practical issue is usually comfort rather than safety, since lying flat for a long appointment gets harder as you go on. Tell us how far along you are and we will adjust the chair and build in breaks. For tinting, check with your OB or midwife first. Our position is simple: if you are unsure, we will do the service you are comfortable with and leave the rest.
